Oil leak, please help!

I took the Evo for a test drive after installing my new O2 housing and downpipe and noticed alot of smoke coming up through the hood vents when stopped at a light. Got out to check under the hood and noticed lots of oil all over the downpipe flange, the engine block underneath the manifold and the compressor discharge pipe as well.

I didn't touch any of the oil lines to the turbo but I have no idea where else my oil leak could be. Please advise!

If I had to guess it sounds like you may of smacked the oil return line or maybe it is loose. It is a metal line comming from the bottom of the turbo to the front of the oil pan. Whipe all the oil clean and try to see where it comes from. Oil leaks suck to find somtimes.
